What club is it on club rego with? I think the rules are pretty strict on mods though but the savings are great.

Hey Ryhs,

I am with the Cortina Capri Car Club, they take pretty well much any british ford. They were too concerned by the extractors and you really only notice the cam with the engine running. Otherwise they had no problem with it.

Cheers

I think the value is what someone is willing to spend on one, I've been offered $7000 for my RS.

Like I said to a well known Automotive Enthusiast Insurance Agency who wanted to insure my RS for book value (after I had to explain to him what an RS2000 was...)

"You have got to be joking mate. I thought you guys were supposed to know about cars. Really, when was the last time you bought a classic car at Redbook value?"






funny that jimmy your cars value was refered to me, when i worked for that company. as i know what there worth, when u got it insured and had to send pics in.



Yes, the young lad did refer to a more experienced collegue (yourself in this case)only after disputing offered maximum value. After much debate over the relative condition of the car and submission of numerous photos the maximum cover offered was still limited to $10k. Interestingly the premiums were more than my current $10k agreed value with Suncorp - yes, even after identifying that the car is only driven 6 to twelve time a year to gazetted club events and stored securely off road.

When the requested written quote turned up the agreed value listed was substantially further south than the aforementioned value, needless to say I passed......


Anyone tried the newly resurfaced Enthusiast Insurance?

Shannons had no problem writing my cars up for 100 and 250 and I get to keep the wreck in case of a writeoff. On the proviso that car is kept in a secure place and not driven every day

they have been very good i have all my cars with them

I also have all my cars with Shannons, however i am a bit pissed with the fact that the agreed value on the escort cosworth is going down every year, obviously not really an agreed value is it, as i dont agree. [B)]
